Black Mass

Review and Trailer Comments

I get what this film tries to do but it just doesnt hang together. its laboured uninvovling And at the end your really counldnt give a Sh%t about what happenend to whitey and his hencheman. Its also full of old mob cliches including its own "do i amuse you" ? goodfellas scene with joe pesci.. cringe.Johnny depp makes alot of turkeys. This im afraid is another one. Dont waste your money

I'm beginning to wonder is the gangster genre done to death. It's been going a while since Goodfellas. You know the score by now; a blizzard of bad, language, inexplicable disproportionate violence after some misfortunate sod looks sideways at the 'hard' man and usually a decent soundtrack. It's the familiarity of this that curbs my enthusiasm though it is well made with some fine performances. Depp looked a vampire, every scene he appeared in I found myself braced for another round of killing and slaying. Maybe I've outgrown these films.
